Why Transmission Service Matters

Your vehicle’s transmission is a complex system that keeps power flowing from the engine to the wheels. When it starts to fail, you can experience:



  • Shaking or slipping during acceleration
  • Delayed or rough gear changes
  • Leaking red or brown fluid
  • Unusual noises while driving
  • Warning lights on the dashboard


Ignoring these signs can lead to expensive damage. At Vedder’s, we catch issues early, provide honest assessments, and perform repairs that last.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We don’t just talk about trust — our customers do it for us:

Five black stars in a row, rating scale.

You will not find a more honest and knowledgeable transmission shop in the state of Indiana. Tom and his partner have had this business for 30 years. When Tom gives you a quote it will be for the entire repair. Other transmission shops lure you in with a cheap quote and then tack on for this part and that part. Vetter Transmission works only on transmissions.transmissions.

Tom read the codes and diagnosed my truck within a minute or two and charged me NOTHING !!! What a rarity in this day when most places want 50 bucks just to pull your car in the shop. He even gave me a great recommendation on where to have the repair done since it wasn't transmission related. I know if I ever have a need, I'm coming to Vedder's.

Daniel Eads

Five black stars in a row.

I thought I needed a new transmission, my car was shifting hard in all gears. It turned out to be a bad TCM connection. $65 later I was out the door and my car is shifting great. I love places that doesn't just want your money.Before you think about replacing your transmission I would suggest bring your car here. fast, friendly and reasonable.A++
